Explain the graph of $\psi(r)$ and $\psi^2(r)$ with distance $r$ from the nucleus.

In an atom,an electron is moving with a speed of $600 \ m/sec$ with an uncertainty of $0.005\%$. The uncertainty with which the position of the electron can be located is:

The uncertainty in the position of an electron $(\Delta x)$ is approximately $100 \ pm$. Calculate the uncertainty in momentum $(\Delta p)$ of the electron in $kg \ m \ s^{-1}$. $[h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s]$

Given below are two statements $:$
Statement $(I):$ It is impossible to specify simultaneously with arbitrary precision,both the linear momentum and the position of a particle.
Statement $(II) :$ If the uncertainty in the measurement of position and uncertainty in measurement of momentum are equal for an electron,then the uncertainty in the measurement of velocity is $\geq \sqrt{\frac{h}{4\pi}} \times \frac{1}{m}$ which simplifies to $\geq \frac{1}{2m} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$
